...﻿Know Your Personality
Dr. John Holland created a theory and inventory to help describe personality types that can be used to identify occupations that are best suited for a particular personality type, or “Holland Code.”
It is important to remember that, as with any personality inventory, this is only an approximation, and the information that is gathered from this exercise should be used in conjunction with the additional information that is covered in this course. Your Holland Code is only one piece of the puzzle.
Holland created six different personality groups: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. Most people and occupations are a combination three of the Holland Codes. The code is determined by the first letter of each group. For example, if you score highest in investigative, followed by social, and then conventional, your Holland Code would be ISC.
(Student Services, 2012)
Holland Codes for occupations can be found on the O*NET site onetonline.org. You can search occupations based on your top three Holland Codes.
Check the items in each column that best describe you, things you can do, and things you would like doing (Student Services, 2012).

...﻿Persuasive Essay
AcademicsVS Athletics
The topic of Academicsvs Athletics and only one being priority is a very big topic that is being discussed throughout many school boards. Although I feel the two have equal importance I would like you to know, I am on the side of Athletics being more important. I do agree academics are a very big aspect in school; however they should not be more important than athletics. Although people have the perception of athletes not being focused on actual studies, I believe athletics should not be compromised due to the lack of academic success. As much as much as everyone has negative things to say about athletics, there are also positive sides making them just as important.
Athletic sports are not just an extracurricular activity; they are also a very good way to get into college. Athletics have the ability to give many kids the chance of going to college who never had the opportunity before. Yes, it may be hard to get a scholarship in athletics but it still gets one more student to college than before. According to Mark Kantrowitz (a nationally-recognized expert on student financial aid, scholarships and student loans) 2% of high school athletes get scholarships, but what people don’t understand is this motivates student athletes to have better grades in school. Athletes are required to maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average with no F’s...

...reduced stress and anxiety and a much needed break after a practice, game, or match, students are able to focus on what needs to be done academically. They were able to put their academics aside and relax that part of their brain. With a refreshed mind, they are able to knock their work out efficiently and accurately.
Sports provide not only a healthy choice, but can be a life-altering choice. Physical inactivity can be lethal. Not being able to be active and improve one’s cardiovascular system can lead to multiple types of diseases. These diseases can lead to a poor quality of life and in some extreme cases, even death. Dr. Engle also stated that, “Physical inactivity exacts a huge toll. It was estimated to cause 1.9 million deaths worldwide in 2000 and 10 to 16 percent of cases each of breast cancer, colon cancer and diabetes. In the United States, inactivity contributed to an estimated $75 billion in medical costs in 2000 alone.”
Athletics also improve the social and mental health of children. By participating in competitive sports, students learn to solve critical thinking problems, interact socially, cooperate with others in a respectful way, and build self-discipline. Sports also can be the tie keeping kids in school. In areas where school is second to sports, raising standards for academic performance can lead to a better performance academically as athletes want to remain athletes and will bring their grades up in order to stay on...

...I knew this is where the next step of my journey would take me. Attending school at Cazenovia has engaged me even further in reading. To be able to read about things that I enjoy just makes me that much more active as a reader.
Everyone has their own literary narrative and their own path into literacy. The growth from picture books to those with over a thousand pages is a huge transition in one’s life. Reading has impacted my life and others such as Gerald Graff, Richard Rodriguez, and Eudora Welty. I know my literary journey is still only beginning and the rest of my novel known as life is still a blank book. From here on I am just going to continue writing the pages.

Main Point Summary
A main point summary reads much like an article abstract, giving the most important "facts" of the text. It should identify the title, author, and main point or argument. When relevant, it can also include the text's source (book, essay, periodical, journal, etc.). As in all types of summary, a main point summary uses author tags, such as "In her article, Salahub states," or "Ms. Salahub argues/explains/says/asks/suggests." These tags will make it clear which ideas are those of the author and the text being summarized, not the summarizer. This type of summary might also use a quote from the text, but the quote should be representative of the text's main idea or point. A main point summary is often used when writing academic papers as a way to introduce the reader to a source and to place the main point of that source into the context of an argument or discussion of an issue.
"In his essay Dropping the Sat? which is posted on the Affirmative Action and Diversity Project's Website, George Will considers the proposal by some that schools stop using student's SAT scores when choosing which students to admit. Mr. Will explains that at most prominent schools in America, the SAT is a key factor in determining college admissions. Mr. Will argues that the SAT is an important tool in predicting the ability of prospective students to perform in college and therefore, should continue to be a factor in college admissions."

...﻿Uniforms vs. Casual Clothes
High school is supposed to be the best four years of your life, but for some people that’s usually never the case because of the way they dress. Everyone makes a first impressions which are mostly based on the clothes you wear to classify you as a jock, a nerd, the queen bee, and any other typical cliché names. Nobody will come and talk to you if you are dressed like a geek or a goth, but that’s the problem we judge people before we get to know what is actually hidden underneath all the clothes. And for that reason I support wearing uniforms so there is no discrimination, bullying rates will go down, and you just simply save time in the morning.
Have you ever walked down the hallways of your school and thought that you don’t belong anywhere because you don’t have the latest clothes from Zara, TNA, or any other brand name store. For that reason kids feel so alone because no one come and talks to them because they’re fashion sense isn’t up to date with the season’s latest trend. But with uniforms no one will ever be judged differently due to their sense of style because everyone will be equal. People would have to be forced to get to know their peers without arbitrating them on the way they look. Everyone say’s that beauty is skin deep but it’s human nature to judge what’s on the outer shell also, but if you wear uniforms that chip’s off a small part of what people can judge you on. Because in the end judging a...

INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
School is a second home for students; the first thing that comes up in one’s mind when they think of it is all about academic performance. But school is not just about studying; it is also a place to get along with other people. They can do many things here. That’s why inside of it, organizations were built, wherein it organizes activities in which it became an instruments to find new friends and to learn new things. With these extra-curricular activities, it can also help an individual to enhance one’s talents.
Generally, according to second year accounting students of San Beda College, extra-curricular activities has a big impact when it comes to their academic performance like their time in studying is lessen because they can’t manage their time well. For them it serves as destruction because they think that all of their time will be spent in their organization. They were thinking that having an organization, non-academic organizations to be specific will not help you in your academics.
An extra-curricular activity is anything that is not under the academic curriculum but actually done inside the school. The time that was usually spent is not during the actual studying time of the students. It is because it might affect the academic performance of the students whether beneficial or not.
